foreign policy. i am a proponent of having a very strong military instrument to support our foreign policy goals. i think, you know, during a period of war, um, because you have tens of thousands of americans in harm's way on the ground, the voice of the department of defense in foreign policy decision making naturally becomes how louder relative to s of peace when you don't have many, many americans in uniform in harm's way. and i think it is a, it's appropriate. it's important that that voice be heard when so much is at risk and at stake in human terms. but i think that, um, that, you know, even those in, you know, the senior leaders in uniform would agree that the military voice should not dominate those circles. it needs to be heard, it needs to be informing the debate. in my experience in the three years that i served in, with president obama, this is a president who has no problem hearing dissenting views. in fact, you know, woe be to the person who's scowling in the back row. you will be calle
